Mama, how do I write the words to you You were the only one who loved me true But there’s a woman that we don’t even know She gave me life, then you gave me a home I love you, Mama But I want to tell her too Is that her little boy still loves you I close my eyes, does she look like me Does she need my help, is she cold on the street Am I forgotten like a bad childhood dream A B-movie actor on the black and white screen I love you, Mama But I want to tell her too Is that her little boy still loves you Is that her little boy still loves you Could I have seen her, I’ll never know Maybe she’s always been there watching me grow I wanted to tell her how grateful I am For giving me life, I’ve done the best that I can I love you, Mama But I want to tell her too Is that her little boy still loves you Her little boy still loves you
